Description
About Alvarez & Marsal

We take a hands-on approach to solving our clients' problems and assisting them in reaching their potential. Our culture celebrates independent thinkers and doers who positively impact our clients and shape our industry.

The Team
A&M’s UK R&D Tax Services team brings together a mix of tax specialists, finance professionals and technically focused subject matter experts. The team has a strong track record of supporting businesses in accessing UK innovation incentives and works closely with colleagues across the UK and internationally.
We support both large and small organisations with their R&D claims. Our work spans a wide variety of clients, from complex corporate structures to high-growth SMEs, advising across both of the UK’s R&D tax regimes.
As the R&D landscape continues to evolve—with increased HMRC scrutiny, legislative changes and a more complex tax environment—practical, experience-led advice is critical. Our team is well equipped to guide businesses through these challenges and help them unlock the full benefit of available incentives.
